Thanks for all the responses Village friends!

The drapes are dry and have been since we purchased this home. However, it is rather obvious that at some point they got really wet, were kept tied back and not dried out. They are really stained. I talked with a friend back in PA that owned a dry cleaning business. At first she said dry cleaning would probably remove the stains, she has removed mildew stains on fabric before. However, when I told her what the fabric is, she said more than likely not. And, it would also be very expensive because of the length of the fabric. So, I will try some of your suggestions and hope for the best!
